Over time, many people wonder and complaining what the USA is doing in Syria. The same for any other hotspot somewhere on earth, which is not America. They complain bitterly why this all is needed and why the Americans need to play the world’s policeman.
This article will show several examples what happened when America didn’t act like the policeman of the world and led to serious problems at the southern border, because that issue is all related what happened in the Middle East.
The article further tells about the relation of bad things happening in the world and how it threatens the existence of the US.

This is another angst article? A doom prediction article? Actually, yes. Is it about pollution, overpopulation, meteor strike, nuclear war, famine, revolutions, super volcanoes, beginning of ice age, overheating, plagues, biological attacks, alien invasions, and any other b-film, ignorants and corrupted, manipulating politicians described disasters, nature- or man made existential threatening disasters, turning the earth sterile or simply explode it, breaking into peaces? No. The aging world population has economic implications. All countries faces multiple problems of making hard decisions to protect itself from the implications or faces seriously slowing or halting economical growth and exploding social costs to deal with aging populations.
That means in plain English: no work, no fancy policies like abortions, collapsing industries and trade, collapsing infrastructures, no medical services, no food or housing, mass starvation … simply a collapsing country. Or that might mean government forced measures to keep the disasters at bay, like forbidding abortions, increased age of pension, tax rates up to 80% or higher, forced pregnancies per woman instead of family, very difficult to divorce, strong (government) support for religions, applying technologies on industry, production and care (AI-related)

Facebook, Google, Twitter and YouTube, to name four of the social media companies, are proof of the competence and creative innovation of America. The success of those companies are beyond believe. What started with nothing then some ideas in the minds of their creators and founders, they created four companies, which now (in 2018) are used by billions of people all over the globe. What started out as American companies, are now spread throughout the world and integrated in societies in almost every country in the world. Actually, they are integrated in the personal lives of more then three billion people worldwide with an annual growth of 13%.
There are politicians and ignorant citizens calling to regulate or even to stop those giants. They might get hurt by the harsh counter, which for sure will follow.

In the US, there is a problem with pensions. Why? Because there is a gap of $7 trillion dollars to pay the pensions. And there is also the $49 trillion in unfunded Social Security problems. But that’s only the US. Globally speaking, we are talking about $70 trillion dollars gap in paying only the pensions. And that number was only in the year 2015, three years ago. In the year 2050, we are talking about a gap of $400 trillion dollars. What does that mean for everyone? Well, that’s simple, not? It means that your pension plans are faulty and you don’t get your pension, it also means that many countries will not survive this ordeal, and it’s the biggest crisis … it’s a crisis for your and your countries existence. And it’s not being an alarmist, it’s common sense. here follows your horror story soon to be experienced by you and anyone else.

30% of the black vote is for Trump. And Trump only needs 20-30% of the black votes and the Democrats are toast. And from the Latinos, Trump needs also about 30% of their votes and guess what? He has them already. Why? Think about the economy growth of 4.1%, which is more then excellent for the blacks and the Latinos. And then we have the EU deal, the expected deal with Mexico and probably soon after that Canada and that brings more economical growth. And it’s expected that the Republicans are showing up by mass for the midterm elections, all of them voting for the Republicans. In the Senate, the Republicans are more then likely to grow with eight seats; meaning a filibuster-proof majority, retain control of the House. And then the demographic factors of the Midterms. Elderly and conservatives vote more often, and young people, blacks, and Latino do not and here you have a red wave.

Iran has made 10 nuclear tests in the 10 years since the United States in 2002. All tests have coincided with major earthquakes in Iran and over 31,000 people have died in Iran as a result of these tests.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump accused Hillary Clinton Dec 11 of being responsible for the refugee crisis that led “hundreds of thousands or maybe millions” of Syrians and Iraqis to flee their homes. He continues with: “And she calls me dangerous?” referring to Clinton’s secretary of state tenure, during a closed-door Pennsylvania Republican Party event at the Plaza Hotel, according to attendees.

I remember when Sharon sent a new Ambassador to England, who spoke only Arabic, French and Hebrew.
Or the time that they replaced the beach guards with people who couldn’t swim. Or assigning Lieberman as Minister of Foreign Affairs. Or the glorious Israeli army, who was defending Israel by bombing Gaza and ran out of ammunition. Or the more tragically lies. Politicians making the speeches about the fallen soldiers during the existence of Israel. Many of the killed soldiers were the result of incompetence of politicians, who didn’t do their job or simply caused undue conflict.

How can the ‘free world’ sit at home and allow their governments to extend this war and slaughter of people to happen? It gets even worse, the US is involved in supporting specific terrorists groups from the beginning of the civil war. By playing in a shadow war, they hoped to influence the slaughter instead of stopping it and stay out of this mess. We are talking about millions of dollars being wasted on weapons, arming terrorist groups. How stupid can you be? How can the President of the United States murmuring something about peace and more of such bull, while in truth he’s nothing else then a hypocrite. He is one of those dark figures, who are supporting terror organizations directly and publicly, and helps to prolong a destructive war and causes the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians and causes the stream of millions of refugees and helps 13.5 million people in Syria in the dire need of humanitarian help.

Donald Trump, an American citizen, contender of the Presidential elections in 2016, yells that when he’s elected as President, he wants to have a database about registered Muslims in the US, he wants temporarily to block all Muslims coming into the US (except US citizens), he wants to deport all illegals in the US. Many Arabs and Muslims in Muslim countries are saying something different for already too many years. They say “Death to America”.

It’s clear that President Obama is the chief architect of his strategy and that he ignored the advice of knowledgeable people. It’s also clear to me that President Obama was and is assisted by an exceptional competent team of specialists, especially the military and the secret services, who could mostly handle the profoundly unrealistic objectives. Also it’s clear that the tireless efforts of his remarkable diplomatic team to try to implement his unrealistic policy is highly regarded for their efforts. Thanks to the efforts of those dedicated professionals, the White House is still in one peace and the US is safe … for now.

Obama’s ‘incremental stepping strategy’ doesn’t seem to work, as was to expect. Such strategy is too complicated, it depends on too many factors, it is too easily disrupted and it seems to originate from a dusty book about strategies for the dummies. This amateurish strategy wasted precious time, which could be spend on stopping the ISIS and the increasing influence and advancements of the Islamic extremism all over the world. Now the devil is out of the bottle and the ISIS and other Islamic extremists are totally out of control, expanding their ideological influences all over the world and poisoning the minds of Muslims young and old.

The lands for the Palestinians are being taken for the pleasure for certain organizations. First, you have the well publicized Jewish settlers, who are trying to grab land from the Palestinians, but you have also the Palestinian Authority who is stealing the land for their own gain, and then we have the Fatah, who’s doing the same and not to forget Hamas.

What many European leaders don’t understand is the situation they are in at the moment relating security and terrorism. Their cities are surrounding with Ghettos where Arabs and Muslims are living closely together in isolated communities, which hate the citizens of their host country. With the mounting terror attacks and the just intercepted terror attacks, they are panicking. You need to see and hear them making up speeches and empty statements!

The population of the United States must make a decision now. Or it continues with the direction promoted by President Obama – and ultimately and surely – terror will struck the US in a terrible way or the US must force the President to do his job and make proper attempts to protect the US. Never would I have dreamed that an American President allows the US to be attacked constantly without any form of retaliation. And I never have thought that the American people would allow him to do so. Never was there an American President, who acts so unprofessionally, causing so much mayhem, destruction and death all over the world.

The ridiculous claim from the Russians, just like claiming it killed 600 ISIS fighters with one missile, is untrue. 1,500 strikes in 9 days means each hour about 7 strikes. With those few number of airplanes and bombers they have in Syria that’s impossible. With the same ridiculous statement, US Secretary of State John Kerry claims that the ISIS will be defeated within months after a political settlement is reached. There will be no political settlement reached in the way how this American administration is fantasizing about; the idiots gave their strategical advantage they had away to the Russian and Iranians and now the Russians are dictating the game. America is out, 1-0 for the Russians.

Like any other major history, the history of the Islamic States after the creation of Islam is rich. For a better understanding about Islam and the Middle East, I would advice to study those maps, because many peoples, Islamic religions and countries are created throughout this history of the Islamic States.

A collection of different maps, focusing on the Middle East. Some of the maps is about the expansionism, others about the spread of Islam with its many fractions, others about US military bases and the Arab and Muslim countries.

For a better understanding, there must be knowledge of the past in the Middle East. That history shaped the world history, because many of those empires also crossed multiple boards throughout the world. There was even the biggest empire of the world involved in the Middle East and threatened even to overrun Europe. But what better to tell the history of the Middle East by pictures (of maps).

After the downing of the Russian Su-24 by a Turkish F-16, things in and around Syria have starting to heat up. The Russians are massing artillery, advanced rocket systems (S-300 and S-400), tanks and electronic disruption weapons, which stops any aircraft flying over Syria (and surrounding countries). The Turks answered the call with their equivalent of electronic disruption weapons. The Russians have started to target any Turkey’s resource in Syria by destroying it. Then the Russians increased the fleet along the coast of Syria (and near southern Turkey). The US response until now is increasing the presence of two aircraft carrier groups and the France with one aircraft carrier and it’s likely that the US will include their 5th generation of weapon systems to counter the S-300 and S-400 anti-aircraft systems. The original focus of bombing ISIS is shifting towards closing off Syria against the NATO and US-led coalition.
